Anti Slip Traffic Paint - ASC Info

Anti Slip Traffic Paint
A tough, slip resistant coating to smarten up
drab, grey asphalt or concrete
Watco Anti Slip Traffic Paint contains a pre-dispersed lightweight
aggregate which provides a finely textured anti slip surface. It produces a
more evenly textured finish than conventional anti slip coatings where grit
is sprinkled into wet paint. The product is easily applied by roller.
One coat is generally sufficient on most surfaces although Yellow and
White may require a second coat on contrasting backgrounds
Many uses
Highlight external walkways, car park spaces and markings etc. Apply
colour codes to safe or hazardous pedestrian and vehicle areas. Smarten up
drab, grey asphalt and concrete. Also ideal for tennis courts, playgrounds
etc. For heavily trafficked vehicle areas we would recommend Watco Heavy
Duty Anti Slip Paint.

Appearance
Matt, finely textured surface.
Availability
Available in 8 colours in 5 litre units.
Coverage
5 litres covers 15–20m 2 per coat depending on the texture of
the substrate. One coat normally required. Do not use the paint
to fill the texture of open tarmac or asphalt surfaces. This will
reduce the coverage rate and extend the drying time of the
paint. It could also reduce the ability of asphalt to drain which
may lead to slip problems in wet areas.
Shelf Life
At least one year in manufacturer’s unopened containers.
Storage
Store in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight.
Surface Preparation
Watco Anti Slip Traffic Paint can be applied to asphalt, tarmac
and porous concrete. Ensure the surface is clean, sound and dry
(slightly damp is acceptable). Watco Bio-D is a bio-degradable
solvent free degreaser which can be used on asphalt and similar
surfaces. Watco Anti Slip Traffic Paint can be applied to existing
paint provided all poorly bonded material is removed and glossy
surfaces are dulled using abrasive paper.
Application
Stir contents thoroughly to blend in any settlement. Apply
Watco Anti Slip Traffic Paint by brush or medium pile type roller.
One coat is generally sufficient although a second coat may be
required on very porous or rough surfaces. Avoid applying too
thickly. The fine texture may not be immediately apparent as
the product is first applied. The texture develops further as the
paint dries. Do not apply externally if rain or frost are forecast
or if the temperature is below 10ºC. The second coat can often
be applied after as little as 1 hour depending upon drying
conditions. In exceptional temperature conditions advice should
be obtained from Watco’s Technical Department.

Curing Time
The product will cure sufficiently in approximately 24 hours
to accept light traffic, but allow 48 hours before bringing the
area back into full use. Cold, damp or humid weather will
delay curing.
Cleaning of Applicators
Clean applicators in warm soapy water before the product has
started to cure.
Limitations
In common with other coatings of this type, if this product is
used externally it could contribute to a possible slip hazard on
poorly drained surfaces in heavy rain/flood conditions. Do not
apply in areas which will be constantly under water.

All product labels provide general safety information. Material
Safety Data Sheets are available. Food products must be
removed from the area during application and cure.
